An iPhone Case Created From One Sheet of Carbon Fiber

A new iPhone case from Carbonicum is made from a single sheet of lightweight carbon fiber, but still packs a hefty punch.

Carbon fiber is strong composite material used in the manufacturing of products like cars and sleds. As explained in the video above, this iPhone case protects your Apple device around its edges and back.

Carbonicum designed the handmade cases for iPhone models 4, 4S and 5. The company is trying to raise $5,000 on Kickstarter to develop its cases further.

The campaign, which closes in 26 days, has raised more than half of its $5,000 goal at the time of writing. A carbon fiber case for the iPhone 4 or 4S requires a $35 pledge, while the iPhone 5 case is available for a $45 pledge. All will be available in matte or glossy finishes.

Reports indicate that Apple will announce its next iPhone on Sept. 10. According to a patent application, the company may be developing its own carbon reinforcement.
